Chinese music finds new foothold in United States
By Chen Nan | China Daily | Updated: 2017-12-04 07:18
Students from the Central Conservatory of Music perform at a news conference in Beijing on Sunday. New York's Bard College Conservatory of Music will work with the college to create an undergraduate program in Chinese musical instrument performance. MA GUOHUI/FOR CHINA DAILY
New York's Bard College Conservatory of Music will teach an undergraduate program in Chinese musical instrument performance starting next fall.
Bard will work with Beijing's Central Conservatory of Music to create the program, said to be the first of its kind at a Western college.
Students will be able to apply in January for a first year that will focus on the erhu, pipa and guzheng, all stringed instruments.
Yu Feng, president of the Beijing school, signed a development initiative for the program and other joint efforts with Robert Martin, director of the New York school, on Sunday in Beijing.
Martin, who is a cellist, said he has been coming to China since the 1970s and had the idea of introducing a Chinese instrument performance degree program at Bard two years ago.
"The goal is to create a comprehensive and effective platform for Chinese music in the United States," he said. "I believe our partnership is what diplomats call a win-win situation."
Yu hailed the project as a "trailblazing step" for Chinese music worldwide that would create a new channel for cultural exchange between the two countries.
"Traditional Chinese culture is the basis of Chinese music and Chinese instruments," Yu said. "We will also introduce lessons such as calligraphy, traditional Chinese opera and Chinese poetry to our students."
In a video played for the announcement ceremony, Leon Botstein, president of Bard, said: "There has been much development regarding the absorption of the teaching of Western instruments and Western music. This needs to be balanced by the introduction of the great tradition of Chinese music and Chinese instruments to Western musicians, inspiring young musicians of the next generation."
Bard, a private liberal arts college founded in 1860, launched its music conservatory in 2005. The new program will build on its existing five-year music and liberal arts and science program to combine the professional study of traditional Chinese instruments with a Western-style liberal arts education. According to Yu, three professors from the Beijing school will become primary faculty members.
Outside the program, the initiative will also launch an annual Chinese music festival at Bard and an annual summer school for high school students. Both will focus on music from contemporary China. Seminars and scholarly conferences on Chinese music, art and social development will also be held in the US and China on alternate years.
Chinese conductor Cai Jindong will chair the committee overseeing the initiative. Cai, who was born in Beijing and studied violin and piano, went to the US in 1985 and joined the Stanford University faculty as professor in 2004. He has been guest conductor of major symphony orchestras in both China and the US.
"I have been working and living in the US for more than 30 years, and to me this program is like a dream come true," he said.
He noted that the development of Western music in China has a very long history, starting with Matteo Ricci (1552-1610), the Italian believed to have been the first Jesuit priest to enter Beijing. Ricci gave a clavichord to Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) in 1601.
"Chinese music never really developed in the West," Cai said. "We believe this program will make changes in the long run."

As a nation, we are becoming numb to tragedy. In the eleven years since the senseless attacks of terrorism on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, we've seen shootings, violence, suffering, and played a major role in two overseas military conflicts. After 9/11, we came together as a nation. There was a sense of national unity and connectedness. We allowed ourselves to grieve with those who were grieving, mourn with those who were mourning, comfort those who needed comforting. But each time of suffering, each act of violence, each time the president of our nation has to address the nation with news of unspeakable tragedy, we become more fearful of the vulnerability of entering into the suffering of others. It hurts too much, and we try to protect ourselves. We build up walls and become defensive. And sometimes, in protecting ourselves, we end up hurting others.
At about 2:50 PM, just after the 4-hour-mark of the Boston Marathon, two explosions rocked the finish line, killing at least three people and injuring over 130 others. I watched the breaking news via live stream on my computer so that I could keep up with the news without frightening my young children. My heart was aching – it continues to ache – for runners who should have been having the best day of their athletic lives, and for families and friends who were waiting in anticipation to see their loved ones. It hurts. It shocks us. These kinds of events remind us how fragile our lives are, and about how nothing in this life is a guarantee. But the shock can quickly lead us to misdirected anger and judgment. When we are faced with these kinds of horrific events, we are also faced with a choice of how to respond.
Will you respond by placing blame? Blaming is easier. The anger is cathartic and it makes us feel like we are doing something. It separates us from the grief, and it makes us feel safer. After all, if we have identified who is responsible (insert religious, political, or other prominent group or individual) we can take steps to keep ourselves safe. But that safety is a facade. It isn't real. The sorrow and grief of those affected by the cruel and horrific acts in Boston is real. We can pretend it doesn't exist or that we have the answers, but the pain and sorrow will not disappear.
Will you respond by grieving and standing in solidarity with those who are hurting? Entering into grief is painful and difficult. It is unscripted and messy. But if any kind of healing is to be possible in the midst of inexplicable grief, it is through the compassionate word, the gentle embrace, the act of kindness, and expressions of love from those who are unafraid to have their hearts broken.
Tomorrow I will be wearing a shirt from one of the 5K races I completed last year as a way of showing support to those who have been affected by the explosions at the Boston Marathon. If you have a race shirt, I invite you to do the same. I want to remember throughout the day tomorrow that even though life may go on for me as normal, many others will continue to grieve. In the days to come, tangible needs may become known, and I hope that when those needs are known, there will be many who are unafraid to enter into the grief of others and offer a helping hand. But, until those needs are known, let's sit in solidarity and grief with our brothers and sisters in Boston who are hurting and need someone to lean on.
These are wonderful, comforting words, April. Your pastoral spirit shines through.
Eric and Carol, thank you so much to both of you for reading and commenting, and for your kind words. I hope my blog can provide even a small measure of comfort and hope in the midst of such sadness.

Senator Warren Calls Out the DOJ – They Ignored 11 Congressional Commission Criminal Referrals!
by Fraud Stoppers Admin | Sep 24, 2016 | Foreclosure Defense News, Tactics, and Tips | 0 comments
Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Member of the Senate Banking Committee and Ranking Minority Member of the Sub-Committee on Economic Policy, wrote two highly provocative letters this last week requesting a formal investigation into why President Obama's administration has not brought criminal charges against the individuals and corporations involved in the 2007-2008 financial crisis.
According to Bloomberg, Senator Warren says that the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission (FCIC) clearly believed there was enough evidence to prosecute them, and sent many criminal referrals to the Department of Justice, so she wants to open up investigations to better understand why that never happened.
"The Department has failed to hold the individuals and companies accountable," she wrote. "This failure requires an explanation." Her letter to FBI Director James Comey asked that he "release records of the FBI investigations into financial misdeeds in the wake of the crisis, to further illuminate why the Obama administration decided not to prosecute firms linked to the financial crisis."
A three-page letter to FBI Director James Comey, and a twenty page one to DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz, demanded an answer to why the Department of Justice (DOJ) has yet to prosecute any of the major players responsible for the 2008 financial crisis.
Applauding her demand for an investigation into why the referrals were not followed up, is Phil Angelides who had chaired the FCIC. "This is in the public interest," he told Avi Asher-Shapiro of International Business Times. "We need to see if there was a fair investigation into what was happening on Wall Street."

This is the rebranded for paperback publishing version of Jeff Allen's original book Nine Ball. Follow this link to see the original. Our Editor review is the same since it is the same book.
Before, players share their field reports, strategies, and results. They compare notes, exchange critiques, and figure out a body of knowledge that defied everything men had ever been told about getting women—what has since come to be known as game.
"Get Laid or Die Trying: The Field Reports" presents in utterly shameless, hilarious, and graphic detail, Jeffy's gritty, 100 percent real, and jaw-droppingly astonishing feats of seduction.
I wonder what is the point of just having many short stories about success with women without revealing information on how or making it have a point. I thought it would be another "the game - neil strauss" which i really loved, but this is so awful that i couldnt finish it.

Why do some aircraft have multiple ailerons per wing?
In a recent flight on an Airbus A380 I noticed that its ailerons are split into three segments which move independently.
What advantages does this design have? Do other aircraft have split ailerons (or other control surfaces)?

$\begingroup$ To force us to use 2 more costly metal gear servos :P $\endgroup$
– Hanky Panky
$\begingroup$ @Iceman: humph! A cost containment engineer would immediately change out those expensive metal gears for less-expensive-but-still-perfectly-serviceable plastic gearing, at a fraction of the cost. THAT would then require a liability-and-plausible deniability engineer to get together with a political contributions engineer to ensure that laws were changed so that the manufacturer could not be found to be at fault in case of a crash due to the failure of the plastic gears. Don't worry - be happy! :-) $\endgroup$
– Bob Jarvis - Reinstate Monica
General Reasons
There are three main reasons for having multiple ailerons per wing on large aircraft:
Aileron Reversal
On a large aircraft, at high speeds a deflected aileron can twist the wing enough to cause a net roll torque opposite to the one intended. The further out on the wing an aileron is, the more likely this problem is to arise. For high-speed aircraft, this necessitates an outboard/inboard aileron, with the outboard being locked out at a certain speed limit. On the Airbus A380, the downwards motion of the outward aileron is locked out at 240 KIAS, and upward motion at 300 KIAS.
Systems Redundancy
Another issue is that on most large aircraft, it is simply infeasible to have cables running through the aircraft, so hydraulic systems are used instead. Having ailerons split would allow for more redundancy of system failures, allowing more controllability in these failure conditions.
Load Alleviation Function
Building on what Bret Copeland has already discussed in his answer, multiple ailerons can be used by fly-by-wire computers to flex the aircraft's wings in a specific manner to allow for less loading on the wing during cruise (counteracts the wing's natural tendency to flex upwards), as well as allowing for dynamic turbulence alleviation.
One of the examples of using this is in Airbus's Safety First magazine (July 2012), where they use the flexibility of having three ailerons to tune out lateral accelerations in the rear of the aircraft changing the gains of each of the controls. By being able to move the centre aileron a fraction after the inner aileron, they managed to avoid these initial shifts during flight testing of the A380.
Other Aircraft
The majority of airliners have multiple ailerons, however in some instances (such as the Airbus A310), there is no outboard aileron -- this function is replaced by spoilers.
Another example of using computers on multiple ailerons is the Boeing 747-8, with the use of the outboard aileron to fix issues relating to the development of flutter in certain extremes of the flight envelope, called the Outboard Aileron Modal Suppression (OAMS) system.

$\begingroup$ Good answer. But one sentence seems incorrect: "Another issue is that on most large aircraft, it is simply infeasible to have cables running through the aircraft, requiring the use of hydraulics." Can you clarify that or correct it? $\endgroup$
$\begingroup$ Isn't "aileron reversal" better described as the aileron forcing the wing to twist in a way that reverses the aileron's intended effect-- not the material of the aileron itself twisting? $\endgroup$
– quiet flyer
$\begingroup$ Another factor could be that smaller actuators could be cheaper than inventing new super powerful ones that could move a gigantic single aileron. It could also be limited by the wing thickness, you can't build the actuator big enough to fit into the wing and at the same time actuate the entire surface. Plus the ailerons would need to be a lot stiffer if they were actuated by one actuator. So this is probably the light weight cheap solution. $\endgroup$
I don't know the specific rationale in this case, but if you think about mechanical advantage, the farther an aileron is out from the center of gravity, the more roll effect will have on the airplane. You'll notice in the image that the outer aileron is deflected less than the inner aileron, even though they are probably producing roughly the same roll moment.
A benefit I see is that it undoubtedly reduces wing-loading at the far end of the wings, and therefore reduces stress/flex on the wing during turns. This could be very important for an aircraft as massive and heavy as an A380, but less important for smaller aircraft where the wing-load is naturally less.
Bret CopelandBret Copeland
In case of the A380 I've read in the FCOM that they don't deflect all ailerons at the same time for passenger comfort and the ailerons are used to dampen out wing oscillations e.g. caused by turbulence.
The A330 has a split aileron as well.

Surgical tooth extraction is a dental procedure that most people associate as an 'adult only' procedure but sometimes children need to have teeth removed, too. Discover some of the reasons why Dr. Lindsay may recommend that your child have certain teeth surgically removed.
Mild to moderate tooth decay can often be treated with dental fillings or root canals, but if the tooth decay is too severe sometimes the only option available to dentists is extraction. Tooth extraction for severe tooth decay is only recommended when the damage to the tooth's enamel is so severe that other dental restoration methods, such as fillings or crowns, either cannot be performed or have a good chance of failing.
Teeth will need space in order to shift and move into their proper position during orthodontic treatment. Sometimes your child may have enough space in their mouth to allow the teeth to move on their own during orthodontic treatment, other times a dentist will need to create that extra space.
Extracting certain teeth several months before orthodontic treatment starts will allow for enough space to be created so the teeth can shift and move into their proper position.
Baby teeth are supposed to naturally fall out as permanent teeth grow in. That doesn't always happen.
For some children, their permanent teeth will grow in and their baby teeth will remain in place. While this doesn't sound like a big deal, it can cause a lot of problems. Everything from cavities to improperly aligned teeth and damage to surrounding teeth can occur if permanent teeth grow in and baby teeth fail to fall out.
In order to avoid problems, if it appears as if your child's baby teeth are not falling out and the permanent teeth are growing in, Dr. Lindsay may recommend having the baby teeth extracted.
A minor crack or chip in a tooth can be repaired with a filling or a dental crown, but if the damage is too extreme a tooth extraction may be needed. Teeth can become damaged due to injury or accidents or from dental problems such as teeth grinding or tooth decay.
Dentists have two options available to them when it comes to extracting teeth. The first option that is available is known as a simple extraction. A simple extraction is often used to remove teeth that are fully erupted.
Simple extraction involves taking a dental device known as an "elevator" and raising the tooth up. Once the tooth is raised, dental forceps can be used to remove the tooth. The entire procedure can usually be done with local anesthetic. However, if more than one tooth is being extracted a dentist may recommend sedation.
The other dental extraction option is surgical extraction. Surgical extraction is needed when the tooth is partially covered by the jaw bone. It is typically done using a combination of local anesthetic and sedation.
Surgical tooth extraction is more time intensive, involved, and painful. There is also a longer recovery period.
If you believe your child is in need of having a tooth removed, it is important to schedule an appointment with an experienced pediatric dentist. Dr. Lindsay will be able to tell you if the tooth needs to be extracted or if there are other – less invasive – treatment options that may be available.

There are several quotes that are incorrectly attributed to the Bible. Either these verses don't exist in the Bible at all or they have been paraphrased. Here are some of the most commonly misquoted verses from the Bible.
Actually, the Bible verse 1 Timothy 6: 7-10 states, "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil".
What is the difference, you ask? Well, actually there is a huge difference. Money itself is not inherently evil. Money in the hands of the right person could be used to do all sorts of good. It is the 'love of money' that is the problem. A love of money causes a person to be greedy, power seeking, and negligent of other areas of his or her life.
"The lion shall lie down with the lamb".
Actually, this exact Bible verse is nowhere in the Bible. But it is a close paraphrase. There are many similar Bible verses which say essentially the same thing.
Um. Luke 6:31 REFERENCES Mat 7:12.
Interesting to see I'm not the only one interested on this topic! Its sad how lapses of time evolves our understanding of the Word.
You are wrong about at least one. Have you ever read Luke 6:31? Apparently you haven't. Try having an actual argument before you write an article...otherwise it makes you look like an idiot.
Excellent hub, I often have fallen into the misquoting trap, but if we just go back to the Bible and re-check it, then we know for sure before telling someone else how it is. A great side benefit is that we don't end up looking foolish, but more importantly, we don't misrepresent God to others and ourselves.
there are hundreds of interpretations of biblical quotes ranging from the king james version to your modern day "bible for dummies" version... thank you for pointing out the ben franklin quote as many do not know that was not from the bible. why are there so many bibles?, and these quotes you have stated do exist in one version or another... it's up to the reader and/or religion to make the best moral sense out of what the true meaning is. for example... do we really know what jesus looked like? no, and not even science can be prevalent on that one. here's a quote to ponder... "if every religion has a righteous and true god than which one gets to go to heaven"?
i think the division of faith is satan's best work... and yes money IS the root of all evil... did you read the part about the golden calf??? what was that story referring to?
p.s. growing up a christian (not anymore, cause it caused too much hatred) i was taught that native americans went to hell when they died because they didn't believe in jesus... really? turns out they didn't know about jesus until it was forced upon them. they did believe in a god though.
Hinduism ? Read Exodus ch.32 GOD cannot be worshipped through Pagan means. If the nos. of planets, suns, galaxies etc can be taken, 900 million is a nothing. Nos is in man's politics, not with GOD.
What a great hub. God helps those who help themselves has always been a needle in my flesh. It justifies the idea of self-sufficiency.
I have always loved the verse about the Bereans: "Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true." They examined the scriptures themselves to confirm what Paul was saying was true. We should all take heed.
Yes..misquoting can be dangerous...I've seen in the past that when God needs to show me a revelation and He needs the exact wording of the scripture for me to be able to put 2 and 2 together...I've also heard a saying that black people will be water barriers...people say it is in the bible..huh..I've searched all the bible even with a pc program and can find no such scripture to substantiate their point..but they believe it...very dangerous to change God's Words..Revelation forewarned us of that...that such a person's name will be removed from the book of life...I don't think God is taking this as a joke if He says He will remove you from the book of life..
Many of these misquotes were truths derived from the scripture they represented. Many times the truths of scripture are easier to remember than to remember the acutual text. Herein is the statement: Words that are truly stated are not necessarily the factual truth. Each of the misquotes are truly stated, but when examined against the Word of God respectively, in each case, we find that saying is not how it is completely truly written in that manner. We must study to show ourselves approved of God and study what the Bible actually says and refrain from using catch phrases as Biblical expressions of God's word. Here is one that has kept me from receiving salvation for years; There is a Fatherhood of God and a brotherhood of man. Why did this saying keep me from salvation? Because if God is the father of all mankind then we are all are brothers and sisters. If we are all brothers and sisters under the fatherhood of God what need of the cross of Christ? All I had to do is please God and be a good person and I will be accepted into heaven on my own merits. The truth is that saying is no where in the Bible. God is the father of all who believe in His Son Jesus. He is not the father of all mankind.
Now It sounds the same to me. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
I See no difference in the two,but if there is a difference could you explain it to me?
Your facts need to be straight. Do not post unless you have studied the Bible in thoroughness. The only one you are correct on is the Ben Franklin quote and the one of money. The others are in the Bible in different translation than I am sure you have looked at.
Though they seem as misquotes, the esscence of each quote is factually quoted in the bible it is the interpretation of the quote by man that is wrong.
does any body know where to find " God will not allow us to have more burdens than you can bear"?
Thank you for pointing out that "God helps those who help themselves is not Biblical." There has been more damage done in society from this one quote having Biblically derived authority than almost any other single statement I can think of.
Angela you should check Luke 6:31. It says in the NIV, Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. This is Jesus speaking. This is not misquoted. Jesus is letting us know how we are to deal with our enemies. We are to love them.
Well done, Dana--I was surprised to see the "do unto others" quote included with the others that are commonly misquoted.
Here's another mis-quote to add to your collection: You will often hear, "for the Son of Man has come to seek and save the lost."
The quote in Luke 19:10 (KJV) is actually, "for the Son of Man has come to seek and save THAT WHICH WAS lost." The meaning is totally different and poses the question..."What was lost?" Because whatever was lost...that is what Jesus came to seek and save.
The first thing that was lost was man's relationship with God. Our churches are good at addressing that.
The second thing that was lost was man's relationship with his fellow man... Witness how Cain killed Able... look at all the wars in history.
The third thing that was lost was man's relationship with the earth. He was kicked out of the Garden of Eden. From now on he would have to work the land by his sweat and hard labor. There is a whole lot more to this last point...more than enough for a hub.... Thanks for the idea!
Mariaya and GNworks other friends: Good observations. I suggest that anyone who quotes a certain translation of any Bible first read the introduction which usually spells out in some detail the standards by which that group of translators decided to use which words or phrases and reject others from the hundreds of manuscripts used to comprise today's Bible. Think of the task that is. Manuscripts which were first written down by hand a generation or more after Jesus was dead and by listening to someone dictating was tedious and prone to mistakes. Yet after all that we have considerable correlation. Yes, right now I'm just considering the newer testament although much of this applies to the older testament too. This should invite us all to read more inquiringly and compare translations. It can be very enjoyable and inspiring especially when done in collaboration with gracious friends. It's not easily cut and dried.
Let me leave you with a statement from a youthful female Rabbi during a Christian-Jewish dialogue. She said that we must remember that the Bible was never intended to beat up on people or to beat them down. I think that pretty much sums up the intention of both testaments. They are meant to care for all people as well as the whole earth and cosmos. Let's not use the Bible to beat up on people or to beat them down. Now. Isn't that a novel idea?
hey is there any bibe passages that could connect somehow with the book romeo and juliet??
All of this comes back to one basic principle: Study and learn God's Word. Doing so shall break out the difference as to who said what and to whom. Secondly, while there may be misquotes that are spewed forth by parrots who heard it from someone else who swear they heard it in church becomes the basis for deceit which the enemy can use to his advantage. It is the mind of Christ in you that he is after, so if he can do anything to distort and redirect what is already been presented to you erroneously, guess who becomes a casualty? All of the above can be shut down simply by reading your Bible yourself and going to God for wisdom and understanding.
As has been said in courtrooms throughout the country, "Ignorance of the law is no excuse." Who is ultimately responsible for your salvation?
This Hub was much needed. Thank you for presenting it.
Tell me about it, I was a JW for 15 years, I know all about it, my family are still in and I am separated from them because I am now demonized for speaking out....Yeah, Satan really is an Angel of Light alright, no doubt about that verse, and JWS should stop pointing the finger and look at all their misquoted verses and see if it applies to them.
Bible was written in a few languages, even Aramaic (Daniel), but it has one clear message, Gods Kingdom, but those seeking power so as to use and abuse have tried to keep its message hidden. What very poor, sad and weak these persons are and how dark is that light inside them....pity for them when the end comes, as christ will tell them he doesn't know them one iota.
i like this page. thank you that there are still people like you.
There are a lot of misquotes verses. The Greeks and Hebrews wrote the Bible, and the English version has misquoted them. Good Article.
It is absolutely correct. It is your salvation. Your relationship with God. Your responsibility to make sure that what you are told is in fact true. In as much as any district attorney will tell you ignorance of a given law is the lamest defense in the book, be advised that just because someone is standing in the pulpit it does not mean what you are being told is "The Gospel Truth." If that were universally true, Jeremiah 23 would never have been written. Ergo, misquoted scripture coming from the pulpit is perhaps the most dangerous as the implications are far worse. Consider what Paul was dealing with in Corinth.
Yes! I like this. That's why I think it's important to read that entire bible for yourself. It also helps to put things in the right perspective and the right context. I just wrote a hub similar to this one. Keep up the good work.
Glad that you have written this article. That's why we must becareful with Bibles that have changed words and meanings to help people understand the scriptures. One word changed could change the whole meaning of a sentence. I stick with the old and best version Bible which is King James. If we need to understand something, we should simply get a book that explains the Bible along with the King James version. I see a big difference in the new Bibles compared to the old.
This is a great idea for a hub. I'll be a little more careful in my references in the future.
Very interesting hub. I think that sometimes certain dark people with evil intentions will twist something said in the Bible by rewording it and giving it a different meaning, just to cause Christians problems.
I also think there is a bit of a problem having all of these more recent versions of the Bible published. Even though they can be helpful in terms of making scriptures more easily understandable, they can also mistakenly distort the original Bible passages by giving them new wordings.
I was not aware that some of these quotes that you mentioned were thought to have come from the Bible, but actually came from other texts such as Shakespeare and the like. Again, I suspect that the dark forces may have been making people think that these passages came from the Bible, for some sort of ulterior motive. They want to distort the Bible and make us not believe in the Bible.
Great Hub Angela. I love Scripture for the lessons taught and therefore it is a tragedy when it gets mixed up with literature. A blessing for those writers who have placed the same lessons in literature. Thanks for differentiating the two.
Interesting observation. I always thought that there was a verse about 'lion and the lamb'!
"God helps those..." wow.. i did not know that. interesting.. i really like your hubs!
This was already posted, but I thought I'd offer a little more clarification. The "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." IS nearly word for word out of the Bible, but it's in the NIV, which might be why it's erroneously listed on this site as being misquoted.
"The so-called Golden Rule is found in negative form in rabbinic Judaism and also in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Confucianism. It occurred in various forms in Greek and Roman ethical teaching. Jesus stated it in positive form."
The others are all correct, and I am glad that you brought these to light! Thanks!
A valid subject validly presented.
Another famous misquote that owes more to mistranslation or translational bias is Luke 1:37, after the angel informs Mary she will conceive a son while yet a virgin; when she asks how this can be the angel replies: "For with God nothing shall be impossible."
What the Greek actually says is that with God no rhema shall be impossible to him. In other words, there is nothing which God utters as rhema that cannot be performed by him; which is something quite different.
There are many version of Bible and these verses might have been quoted from them.
thank you for sharing this its great.
YOu should collect all these misquoted verses and publish a short book. There are quite a few that biblethumpers slam on others. When I start a new Bible study class I have to correct so many people who have repeated these quotes not knowing that they're not biblical.
Another misquoted verse is 1 Corinthians 10:13 a lot of people say God would not put on you More than you can bare! But it actually says No Temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
Great hub. How about starting one for Bible verses most commonly taken and preached out of context ?
Now the truth is revealed! People have been believing to the wrong facts and their belief system act as though they are the truth.
Great list of verses/quotes. "God helps thos who help themselves" is one you hear all the time. It's actually quite annoying to hear people quoting something that they assume to be biblical.
I don't know who thinks these are quotes from the Bible, but from my understanding, limited as it may be, they are quotes that were taken from people's understanding of the Bible and modified to fit the language of today. Not all of them however.
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." I would have to disagree that there is not a scripture verse that says pretty much the same thiing in different wording. Matthew 22:39 says, "Love your neighbor as yourself" is the second greatest commandment!
I also believe that some of the quotes you have pulled out are nice sounding paraphrases for what people found the Bible to say. For example, "spare the rod, spoil the child" is presenting that not showing 'discipline' shows that you do not 'love' him or her.
I would agree that people quote the passage about 'money as the root of all evil' incorrectly. As you showed, the passage states, "the LOVE of money is the root of all evil." Good job on that one.
I also agree with you in "the lion and the lamb" which is actually "the wolf and the lamb. That one I did not even realize and thought I had heard it as scripture, was looking it up in an online Bible and couldn't find those together anywhere. Thanks. God Bless.
Do unto others: Matthew 7:12.
And let's not forget all the Shakespear that's mis-quoted as scripture, "This above all to thine own self be true."
Yes I would have to agree this is so much mis-understanding, that's why I think it's so key that everyone should read the bible and never just a word from someone as it is truth. After you have read and studied the bible you will have wisdom to discern what is from the bible and what is not. You did quote a couple scriptures though and even the bible text themselves sometimes take much study and prayer before we understand them. In first Timothy 6:7-10 You it as though you did not even agree with the scripture. It's never a good thing to do this but seek understanding to what it means. Your right! Money is not evil, but it's the "Love" of money that is the root of all kinds of evil. You can have a lots of money and still be in right standing beforeGod, Solomon did!
Of course there are many more that are misquoted and paraphrased. I didn't know the quote God helps those who help themselves was by Ben Franklin.
Great job and presented excellently.
Many times, I will read or hear a wise saying that sounds as if it comes from the bible, but actually does not. What's most important about the bible is the truth that comes from it, not the specific words, but the entire contextual truth. Some quotations, though not directly from the the bible, are very scriptural.
Totally agreed, Leif. I don't think anyone should have someone else tell them what the Bible says or means. It should be a personal experience and people should interpret what the Bible "says" to them personally. Just my opinion, though.

The progress of digital technology creates new opportunities in all areas of the civil society. The expansion of citizen science is one example. With citizens taking part in research activities, their understanding about science deepens. At the same time, citizen science activities are helpful for supporting scientific researches and advancements. Nevertheless, compared to the natural sciences, practices of citizen science in the social sciences and the humanities are rare.
Combining experiences and insights by leading experts from Japan and abroad, our conference will take a closer look at the opportunities and challenges for citizen science in social sciences and the humanities. Where and how can civil society get engaged? What are the potential benefits? What risks need to be addressed? How can respective collaborations be initiated and coordinated? How will this effect both society and research in social sciences and the humanities?

George Takei presents THEY CALLED US ENEMY to school librarians
A few days ago, legendary actor, activist, and author George Takei visited New York to deliver the keynote address at School Library Journal's 14th annual Leadership Summit.
Speaking to a rapt audience of key figures from schools and libraries around the United States, Takei narrated his wrenching firsthand experience in childhood as one of 120,000 Japanese Americans forced into internment camps during World War II. Takei also explored the complex lessons of patriotism and civic engagement passed down by his father, the duty of all Americans to stand up for our ideals, and his hopes for They Called Us Enemy to both educate and inspire new generations with the lessons of the past.
"Next year, we will put it in your hands, you librarians, to build the future of America, to inform the young people who will become the leaders of our future that we have a glorious history... but we should also be mindful of some of the horrible mistakes that we made," he said. "As Americans, we all have a responsibility to build a better America."
They Called Us Enemy is currently in preparation for release in Summer 2019, but some retailers are already beginning to offer pre-orders — including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Hudson Booksellers, and the IndieBound network of independent bookstores.

BELZEBUBS: Juggling work and family can be… hell.
October 12, 2018 / More →
Calvin & Hobbes meets Call of Cthulhu as the sensationally popular heavy metal webcomic BELZEBUBS comes to your bookshelf in a grim, goofy, and gorgeous hardcover.
Belzebubs is a "trve kvlt mockumentary" focusing on the everyday challenges of family life: raising kids, running a small business, and making time for worship. Except the kids are named Lilith and Leviathan, the business is a black-metal band, and the worship… isn't exactly aimed upstairs.
In a few short years, what started out as improvised social-media doodles has now become a wildly successful webcomic with hundreds of thousands of fans. The irresistible cartooning of JP Ahonen (Sing No Evil) combines relatable slice-of-life humor with over-the-top occult antics and references from metal music to Lovecraftian horror, making Belzebubs a devil of a good time.
See what Belzebubs' quarter-million frenzied Facebook fans have been raving about!
PLUS: watch for the official Belzebubs soundtrack album, coming in early 2019 from the world's largest heavy metal record label, Century Media!

George Takei's graphic memoir They Called Us Enemy coming in 2019
Graphic memoir of actor/author/activist will depict his childhood in 1940s Japanese American internment camps
SAN DIEGO, CA (July 19, 2018) — As nations around the globe confront new versions of old debates about immigration, incarceration, and family separation, actor/author/activist George Takei is preparing a beautiful and powerfully resonant graphic memoir of his own direct experience with American xenophobia.
In summer 2019, Top Shelf Productions will publish Takei's They Called Us Enemy, created in collaboration with co-writers Justin Eisinger & Steven Scott and artist Harmony Becker. George Takei revisits his haunting childhood in American concentration camps, as one of 120,000 Japanese Americans imprisoned by the U.S. government during World War II. Readers will experience the forces that shaped an American icon — and America itself — in this gripping tale of courage, country, loyalty, and love.

Announcing FROM HELL: MASTER EDITION
Alan Moore & Eddie Campbell's masterpiece returns as full-color "prestige" comic book series in September
Jack is back — and this time, the blood is red.
For decades, the award-winning graphic novel FROM HELL has welcomed readers into the grandeur and grime of London in the late 1800s. The New York Times-bestselling opus is an achievement the New Yorker dubs "remarkable" and Entertainment Weekly calls "an immense, majestic work about the Jack the Ripper murders, the dark Victorian world they happened in, and the birth of the 20th century."
Beginning in September, readers old and new will experience FROM HELL as never before. The FROM HELL Master Edition presents Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell's Victorian masterpiece as a ten-issue serial, thoroughly restored and revised "for color, clarity, and continuity" by Eddie Campbell himself.
"The most dramatic change is the color, of course," says Campbell. "I prefer the term 'colorizing' to 'coloring' since I'm not simply painting within the black lines, but reconceiving every panel to suit a full-color world. But I've also gone through and fixed small errors and minor flaws that have haunted me for decades. Ultimately the result is my equivalent of a 'director's cut' of From Hell."
"From Hell is one of the greatest graphic novels ever made — the first comic I ever read that really opened my eyes to the possibilities of sophisticated writing and art in this format," says Chris Staros, Editor-in-Chief of Top Shelf Productions. "It's been one of the keystones of Top Shelf's line for almost twenty years, and now it's an honor to watch Eddie breathe a whole new life into this epic."
Eddie Campbell discusses his process in greater depth and reveals an exclusive interior preview of From Hell: Master Edition in a new interview at Entertainment Weekly.
From Hell: Master Edition #1 (of 10) will be released exclusively through comic shops and digital retailers in September 2018. To find a comic shop near you, visit comicshoplocator.com or call 1-800-COMIC-BOOK.

Decisions For The Future: Welcome to "How to shape my personal future"
Welcome to "How to shape my personal future"
welcome to my brand new blog "How to shape my personal future".
Throughout my relatively young life (or at least I would like to think so) I have come across many different people, cultures and societies, which all have in one way or the other shaped my life, the way I make decisions and therefore my future. I feel these experiences have opened up a vast array of different views, options and approaches to life and to my own future, that I would not have had if I just stayed in one place with the same people.
At the same time I met so many people in my age, who are overwhelmed with the decisions they face and with the opportunities they are given (which in turn increases further the pressure of having to make decision - sometimes it's easier to just have one option;) ). Intuitively, this development of a faster moving, more globalised world with more options for (almost) everybody in the world seems to be a very positive thing, but at the same time, young people are not appropriately trained and prepared for this challenge. Our generation's parents did not have to face these challenges and we can't blame them for not being 'up-to-date' with all the possibilities available to us today - let alone understanding all this globalised, modern jargon. I don't want to generalise too much of course, there are certainly also many parents that are very versatile in technology, open about global differences in culture, society and people, and understand what Bachelor/Master, tablet, recruiting etc. mean.
Growing up in this unique era and given the above-mentioned extraordinary experiences I have come to realise that life is about attitude towards it, it's about shaping your own life, taking things into your own hands, being open for something 'new'/'unknown', and most importantly it's about enjoying it, about appreciating what one has!
In this blog I will talk about my own experience of making decisions that shaped my life and my future, about people I met along the way who have influenced me and taught me about life and about the lessons that I learned and believe can be an inspiration to anybody interested.
Thanks for reading my blog and any comments are very much appreciated.


Second Chance Dog Rescue San Diego Rescue, rehabilitate, and re-home dogs in need.
Join us at our monthly dog adoption events in San Diego!
All of our dogs are in private volunteer foster homes, so these events are a great opportunity to meet some of our four-legged friends in person. We do not have a central shelter – so if you're looking for a particular dog, it's best to schedule a private meet-and-greet appointment at the foster family's convenience.
Events also help to educate the community about dog overpopulation and the need for spaying/neutering, foster homes, and Second Chance Dog Rescue's mission and core values.
Please join us at our 2nd Annual "Home for the Paw-lidays" fundraiser at the beautiful Evans School in La Jolla.
We will have lots of great auction items including a trip to San Francisco, Hotel Del and La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club and more! Come meet the folks at Second Chance, who help make SCDR the largest All-Breed rescue in San Diego County, as we celebrate our 10 year Anniversary with hor d'oeuvres, homemade desserts, fine wine and microbeers.
Standard Ticket – $30.00 includes food, wine and access to all auction and raffle items.
VIP Ticket – $50.00 includes premium wine, early entry to event to pursue auction items before crowd and special gift.

Juneteenth may be the greatest holiday you've never heard of. Commemorating the end of slavery, Juneteenth reminds all of us that freedom matters, and to create a better society we must work – and play – together.
America's slavery was particularly barbaric because it gave no rights or legal protection to slave families. Owners could sell their "property" with no regard to connections of kinship or love. Thus within weeks many of Galveston's ex-slaves had left the region, setting off to search for long-separated sons and daughters, parents and spouses.
While their former masters cringed behind locked doors, awaiting the eruption of (what many have considered well-deserved) vengeance that never came, the newly freed slaves celebrated outdoors for days. Story-telling contests, feasts unlike anything they had tasted, story-telling contests, marathons of song and dance … it was two and a half centuries of suppressed happiness finally allowed spontaneous expression. I wish I'd been there, and I'll bet you do too.
Calling Juneteenth the "African American Independence Day" reminds us that even though the country was founded with the bold proclamation that "all men are created equal," a quarter of those who signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776 were slave-owners. For the people they called "property," the Fourth of July was not much different from the Third.
For decades in Texas and the South, as Jim Crow restrictions increasingly barred them from public and civil life, African Americans reasserted their emancipation with grand Juneteenth festivities. These elaborate traditions vanished a bit with the Great Migration north and with the real (albeit incomplete) achievements of the civil rights movement.
Neglecting this holiday today would be a shame. Juneteenth gives us all an opportunity to reflect on America's future as well as it past. Again, to quote Ellison: "There's been a heap of Juneteenths before this one, and I tell you there'll be a heap more before we're truly free!" We don't need a few hate-filled, house-torching bigots to remind us 140 years after Gen. Granger's Galveston proclamation that race remains our country's great unhealed wound.
Indiana is not one of the fifteen states that have declared Juneteenth an official holiday. No problem. Juneteenth shouldn't be commemorated by mall sales or profits for greeting card companies. It's a time for spontaneous fun, for the enjoyment of life's simple pleasures. If Thanksgiving is "Turkey Day," Juneteenth is "Barbeque Day." This weekend you could go to the park, firing up the grill with family and friends (old and new). How better to honor the slave families cruelly ripped apart by the greed and caprice of their owners?
Those (like me) who wish they'd been present at the original Juneteenth celebration should go to the Children's Museum on June 18. All day the splendid Freetown Singers will engage visitors in story-telling, songs and dance. As always, having kids is just an excuse for grown-ups to visit the Children's Museum: everyone should go.
If you are in Bloomington on June 19, you should participate in IU's Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center's Juneteenth celebration. A parade, musical performances, a drama about the Underground Railroad … it sounds like a traditional Texas Juneteenth.
One of the truly important institutions in Indianapolis is Martin University, established in 1977 to serve low-income, minority, and adult learners. Juneteenth weekend is a great chance to learn more about Martin University during its Community Day. June 18 from 10 AM to 4 PM you can meet students and faculty members, tour the campus, eat free food, and try to win prizes.
This weekend I'll be in Military Park, celebrating Juneteenth at the Indy Jazz Fest. Although the festival's organizers for some reason never mention Juneteenth, ethnic as well as musical harmony is prominently displayed at the Jazz Fest. No other local event features such easy and natural blending of colors on the stage, or such casual and unselfconscious mingling in the audience. Friends and strangers, drawn together by a shared passion for cool tunes. Jazz, after all, is more than this country's major contribution to world art. It's the beautiful flower growing out of the dungheap of American racism. For a century jazz music has been created by blacks and whites, playing freely as equals. What better image for what race relations can become, and what better way to celebrate this great and underappreciated holiday of Juneteenth?

As part of the Agents of Change initiative and as an IGERT Fellow our integration with the organization The Corridor of the Yaguazo, Inc., are related to the empowerment of the community on resolving all their problems. Problems related to their coexistence and problems related to the environment. They present to us the need of compiling their historical memory because that's the missing part need it to become more empowered. To achieve this goal we are interviewing different people in the community to gather the historic memory of the place, as well as collecting information about the projects carried out to maintain a data base of research on the zone. The Corridor of the Yaguazo, Inc. is concerned with the protection and development of natural resources in Puerto Rico. We believe that the Island's natural resources are of great value, and hence should be recognized in their ecological, historic, anthropologic, cultural, social and legal context. The responsibility of caring for our natural resources belongs to each human being. This is why we promote environmental education for all: children, adults, individuals, communities, and groups from the public and private sector. This way, we promote the integration of the community in preventing harm to the natural environment, and the preservation and sustainable development of Puerto Rico.

At times, Rome feels like the world's biggest open-air museum. Its jaw-dropping historic centre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is home to ancient architectural icons like the impressively intact Colosseum and the resplendent Roman Forum. Then of course there's St Peter's Basilica, the world's largest church and a preeminent masterpiece of Italian Renaissance architecture.
But the ostentatious Italian capital is in no way stuck in the past. On the contrary, it's a cosmopolitan modern metropolis, with edgy contemporary galleries, eclectic nightlife and a trailblazing fashion scene. Of course, it's also a gourmand's paradise, where you can feast on crispy wood-fired pizzas and creamy homemade gelato to your heart's content.

A boat trip along the Lycian coast is the perfect way to fully appreciate this wild, secluded and undeveloped area of the Mediterranean.
Captain Apo will bring you to secluded bays, where we will drop anchor and you will have the opportunity to dive into the clear water, to swim to the shore or to discover the underwater world with snorkel and goggles.
We promise to look after you on the trip – grilled fish or chicken will be served with baked potatoes, salad and fresh bread. You'll be surprised how fresh air, sun and swimming can build one's appetite! After lunch, with the boat gently rocking in the waves, you can close your eyes and enjoy that holiday feeling.
During the journey, you can relax in the shade on deck, enjoying the warm wind on your body and marveling at the natural beauty of the coast, with it's unspoiled cliffs. Sometimes dolphins accompany the boat, and occasionally we are lucky enough to spot a swimming Caretta turtle.
On the Sulu island you can see mediterranean seals basking in the sun.
In the afternoon, we provide coffee and turkish tea. Cold drinks are available at all times. On the pension's own boat "NAZAR", we provide day trips and longer tours.
The "NAZAR" is a 14-meter yacht with space for 12 passengers, and is fitted with two cabins, a kitchen, shower and WC. On longer tours, you can sleep either in a cabin or on deck under a star covered sky.
Captain Apo will take you in a southerly direction, past the ancient city of Olympos, the bays of Ceneviz and Sazak and the nearby caves to the island of Sulu Ada or to Cape Gelidonya with it's lighthouse and islands, or in a northerly direction past the three islands of Maden Bay to Phaselis. An extended tour is also available to Demre, Kekova, Simena and to a sunken city.


Please tell me it had a good long life.
My sweet daily driver. Kind of humiliating with the racks and lights, but she's still got two wheels spinnin' straight to hell!
- this bit of seat tube flair was strictly by-design, just not sure why.
The Fat Rat....from hell !
You'd know better than me, but that looks like a stuck seatpost was removed by any means necessary and the last bit of the seattube - where the clamp should be - was sacrificed.

I want it to be a rare example of some alternate fabrication, but you're right, it's probably just a thoughtfully executed fix.
